The European Union on Wednesday began the process of clawing back hundreds of millions of euros in funds meant to go Hungary after its ant-migrant government refused to pay a huge fine for breaking the bloc’s asylum rules.
In June, the EU’s top court ordered Hungary to pay 200 million euros ($223 million) for persistently depriving migrants of their right to apply for asylum. The court imposed an additional fine of 1 million euros for every day it failed to comply.
The European Court of Justice described Hungary’s actions as “an unprecedented and extremely serious infringement of EU law.” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán slammed its ruling as “outrageous and unacceptable.”
I’m pretty sure there are other things they aren’t doing, more fines seem in order.
In fact, keep fining them till their net contribution to the EU is 0.
Gotta fine them more than that. Lots more,it has to be painful for them at this point. As it is right now we REALLY don’t need them in the EU like that.
I would agree.
But I think it helps everyone’s cause more to simply ignore them utterly.
These worthless ‘hyper-masculine’ fascist trash, the worst thing you can do to them is show them how impotent they really are without even putting in effort.
Trump was humiliated at the debate, we just do the same to all these other Russian funded losers.
Ignore them, make it clear they’re nothing and nobody cares.
It burns them more than literally everything else, they’re spoiled children throwing a tantrum, let them.
Ignoring an infection doesn’t make it go away. It makes the infection get worse and worse until it kills the host.
In my personal experience, ignoring them really doesn’t help anyone but them. They will find a way to spin that into their favour.
And to perhaps go on a short tangent : one of the best ways to get rid of an infection is to kill it. Even our body’s immune system knows about that and is usually doing just that. To the point where it just orders sick body cells to die.
In other words. Not helping them by not giving them any more free real estate is not enough, you need to make their lives actively miserable.
Or yet again in other words, not paying them any more money is not good enough to stop otban or Hungary, you actually need to make it hurt for them if they keep doing what they want. Give their actions actual consequences.
As it stands right now Hungary is best either out of the EU or at least has ALL their rights taken away from them while it stays how it is. Including all the EU funds and then some.
They play hardball? You need to play hardball better than them. Simple as that.
